-Please use attached template and patient information

Over the course of the semester, you will choose 6 patient encounters to document a clinical diagnostic reasoning SOAP note for.

It is expected that you vary the primary focus of each note to ensure you are receiving quality feedback for several types of patient encounters to include acute, chronic and wellness encounters. You are not to utilize the same type of encounter, acute/chronic health condition or wellness exam, more than once unless you have received approval to do so from your clinical faculty person.

Each SOAP note carries a 60-point value.

SOAP notes will be evaluated using a standardized rubric. Please review the evaluation criterion to ensure that your SOAP notes are constructed to address the required elements and desired level of achievement.

For planned weekly clinical experiences submission of the 6 SOAP notes would be accomplished by submitting one SOAP note bi-weekly for weeks 3 through week 13.

For planned and instructor-approved condensed, compressed or alternate clinical schedules, the timing of the submission of the 6 SOAP notes will be dependent on the approved clinical schedule. Your clinical faculty will give you a new SOAP note assignment schedule, and your grade will remain a ‘0’ in the Grade Center as a placeholder until you have submitted the required assignment according to your instructor-assigned due date. This only applies to approved alternate schedules in communication with faculty. If students are not on an approved altered clinical schedule, students MUST submit SOAP notes according to the mandated due date or the grade will remain a ‘0.’

Research Essay Final Draft

Write a research paper that presents a position or analysis of a current issue. Your goal is to do more than inform your readers; you should persuade and/or analyze.

In an inquiry-based research essay, you will start by coming up with a central research question (or up to 3 research questions) that will guide your research. As you research, you will (hopefully!) discover something new about your topic. Focus on investigating various aspects of your topic rather than just coming up with one definitive answer. Ideally you will synthesize the information you gained from your research, analyze that information, and situate your voice within the larger conversation happening around this topic. Please consider all you have explored about rhetorical choices and what you find persuasive in the arguments of others as you construct your own argument.

This paper is an opportunity for you to synthesize all of the ideas we have been studying throughout the term; I hope you find it challenging. Include a narrowed thesis, sound evidence, analysis, and APA citations (and please proofread). Imagine that you will present your paper at an undergraduate conference to peers who may be skeptical of your ideas. Visualize your readers as intelligent, but not totally up to date on your topic.

Length: At least 6 full pages of text. This will be 1,800 words. Since your cover page and References page are numbered, you will have at least 8 pages. If you are having trouble expanding your paper, let me know. I am happy to give you suggestions. You are more than welcome to write more than the minimum requirement.

Due Dates:

Week 7: Research Progress Document. This should include your research questions. This should also include 3-5 sources and some notes about the usefulness of each source.

Week 8 or 9: Rough Draft. I would like you to send me at least 3 pages and to incorporate some quotes from outside sources. This draft is ungraded, so its very low stakes (feel free to write a Shitty First Draft or send a detailed outline, or write a more complete draft.)

Week 10 : Friday by 11:59 pm: Final Draft Due.

Heres the list of features that Ill be looking for in your final paper:

Argument and Organization:

• Structure: You might write a traditional argumentative style essay, an issue analysis, a cause/effect analysis, a problem solution essay, or an essay that explores 2 sides of the issue and analyzes both sides (or a blend of these).
• Thesis statement is clear, arguable or analytical and drives the analysis of your evidence
• The paper is organized in a logical/reader-friendly manner
• Introduction includes the context of the issue, addresses who cares? about the issue, and captures the readers interest
• You may choose to include a counter-argument, if you feel that it would strengthen your paper. If you include a counter-argument, present them respectfully (and include a refutation).

Sources and Evidence:

• Incorporates at least 6 outside sources:
• At least 5 sources are credible (these can be news websites and government websites). You can use a few less credible sources as evidence of the current debate around the issue, or as sources to critique and write against
• Quotes are introduced and commented on (the reader does not have to guess how they relate to your argument)
• Quotes are not too long
• Both direct citations (word-for-word, verbatim) and indirect citations (paraphrased) are included

APA Style

• Be as specific when you are referring to groups of people and keep in mind APA guidelines on avoiding bias.
• Hedge your claims.
• Avoid writing you. Replace you with the specific group you have in mind. We and our may be appropriate.
• Avoid using Iexcept in your introduction & conclusion and only when you are using personal experience (Please avoid using I to signal your beliefs).

substance use disorder (SUD) and the Opioid/Fentanyl Overdose Crisis: Presidential Agenda Comparison (Trump vs. Biden) with Obama Context Tamatha Sue Garner Walden University NURS 6050: Policy and Advocacy for Improving Population Health Instructor Name March 4, 2026 Introductory Paragraph Substance use disorder (SUD)particularly opioid and fentanyl-related overdoseremains a persistent population health concern with major impacts on mortality, family stability, workforce participation, and healthcare costs. Federal attention has intensified as synthetic opioids have driven overdose deaths to historically high levels (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services [HHS], 2026). This paper compares how the current sitting president (Donald J. Trump; term beginning January 20, 2025) and the previous administration (Joseph R. Biden Jr.) approached the SUD/overdose crisis, with brief contextual references to the Obama administrations opioid response investments. Part 1: Agenda Comparison Grid Population Health Concern Selected SUD with emphasis on opioid/fentanyl overdose deaths. This includes prevention, harm reduction, treatment (including medications for opioid use disorder [MOUD]), recovery supports, and drug supply reduction. Agenda Comparison Grid (Trump vs. Biden) Category Current/Sitting Administration: Trump (2025present) Previous Administration: Biden (20212025) How the administration approached the issue Emphasized drug supply reduction and enforcement, including federal drug policy priorities released by ONDCP focused on urgent first-year steps to reduce illicit drug harms. Recent federal actions have framed fentanyl as a national security threat. Published the 2022 National Drug Control Strategy emphasizing evidence-based prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery, paired with supply reduction efforts (especially fentanyl). Key policy levers ONDCP Drug Policy Priorities (executive agenda setting and interagency coordination). Policy signals strongly oriented toward enforcement and trafficking disruption. ONDCP National Drug Control Strategy (targets and performance system; federal coordination across agencies). Allocation of resources / investments Documented first-year steps and interagency coordination priorities through ONDCP. (Specific budget totals vary by fiscal year and appropriations; ONDCP priorities indicate resource direction but do not alone equal appropriated funding.) Strategy included measurable targets and coordinated federal actions; the Administrations approach explicitly supported expansion of prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery capacity. Public health framing Predominantly security/enforcement framing (e.g., fentanyl treated as an extraordinary national threat). Strong public health framing (reducing overdose deaths through harm reduction + MOUD + recovery supports while also addressing supply). Brief Obama Context (supporting comparison and staying power on the agenda) The Obama administration elevated opioid misuse as a national priority and proposed substantial federal investments to expand treatment access; for example, a White House fact sheet described $1.1 billion in new funding over two years (proposed) to expand access to treatment for prescription opioid and heroin use. Obama also signed the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act (CARA) in 2016, expanding federal grant programs and supporting treatment-related workforce capacity. Part 2: Agenda Comparison Grid Analysis 1. Administrative agency most responsibleand why HHS would be the most helpful lead administrative agency for addressing SUD/overdose because it houses the nations primary public health and treatment infrastructure (e.g., SAMHSA for behavioral health systems and services, and CDC/NIH for surveillance and evidence). HHS also maintains a dedicated federal overdose prevention focus and summarizes the magnitude of the overdose crisis using national data. While ONDCP coordinates drug control policy at the White House level, HHS is typically the central agency for treatment capacity, prevention, harm reduction, and recovery supportsthe levers most directly tied to reducing deaths and improving access to care. 2. How the issue gets on the presidential agendaand how it stays there SUD/overdose gets on the presidential agenda when three forces align (problem visibility + viable policy solutions + political will). In practical terms, it rises when overdose mortality trends, fentanyl supply shocks, and high-profile events create sustained urgency (HHS continues to report overdose burden as a national crisis). It stays there when: Data continue to show high mortality and system strain, keeping the problem visible. Federal strategies institutionalize targets and reporting, creating accountability that persists beyond election cycles (e.g., national strategies and performance objectives). Bipartisan legislative interest remains (e.g., fentanyl-related scheduling debates and related congressional action). 3. Entrepreneur/champion/sponsor choice Champion/Sponsor: Dr. Nora D. Volkow (Director, National Institute on Drug AbuseNIDA). Dr. Volkow is a strong champion because she is a long-standing national scientific leader in addiction, stigma reduction, and evidence-based policy translation, and she directs the federal institute most closely associated with addiction science. A champion with scientific credibility can help sustain bipartisan support by emphasizing outcomes (reduced deaths, improved recovery) rather than ideology. Part 3: 1-Page Fact Sheet (for Legislator/Staff) SUD/Opioid-Fentanyl Overdose Crisis: Why It Belongs on the Legislative Agenda Issue summary: The U.S. continues to experience a severe overdose crisis, driven largely by synthetic opioids (including fentanyl) and polysubstance use, with major consequences for public safety, families, and healthcare capacity. Federal public health agencies report overdose deaths at historically high levels, underscoring the urgency of sustained action. What policy action should prioritize (recommended agenda items) 1. Expand access to evidence-based treatment (MOUD) and recovery supports o Fund MOUD access, retention, and recovery infrastructure in community settings (including rural and underserved areas). 2. Strengthen harm reduction and overdose prevention capacity o Support naloxone access and evidence-based community interventions aligned with national strategy goals. address prescription drug abuse and heroin use. Following are the instructions: The Assignment: (1- to 2-page Comparison Grid, 1-Page Analysis, and 1-page narrative) with a title page. This is an APA paper. Use 2-3 course resources and at least 2 outside resources. Part 1: Agenda Comparison Grid Use the Agenda Comparison Grid Template found in the Learning Resources and complete the Part 1: Agenda Comparison Grid based on the current/sitting U.S. president and the previous president, and their agendas related to the population health concern you selected. Be sure to address the following: Identify and provide a brief description of the population health concern you selected. Explain how each of the presidential administrations approached the issue. Identify the allocation of resources that the presidents dedicated to this issue. Part 2: Agenda Comparison Grid Analysis Using the information you recorded in Part 1: Agenda Comparison Grid on the template, complete the Part 2: Agenda Comparison Grid Analysis portion of the template, by addressing the following: Which administrative agency (like HHS, CDC, FDA, OHSA) would most likely be responsible for helping you address the healthcare issue you selected and why is this agency the most helpful for the issue? How do you think your selected healthcare issue might get on the presidential agenda? How does it stay there? An entrepreneur/champion/sponsor helps to move the issue forward. Who would you choose to be the entrepreneur/champion/sponsor (this can be a celebrity, a legislator, an agency director, or others) of the healthcare issue you selected and why would this person be a good entrepreneur/ champion/sponsor? An example is Michael J. Fox is champion for Parkinsons disease. Part 3: Fact Sheet Using the information recorded on the template in Parts 1 and 2, develop a 1-page fact sheet that you could use to communicate with a policymaker/legislator or a member of their staff for this healthcare issue. Be sure to address the following: Summarize why this healthcare issue is important and should be included in the agenda for legislation. Justify the role of the nurse in agenda setting for healthcare issues.
